Here is the statement of Indonesia's petition:

“We really think this is an insult not only to the organization but to the whole Asian region. The Philippines is the only Asian country to use half-Filipina contestant in the last five years. There is no law that has been violated but it is ethically unacceptable”, Indonesia said.

While Miss Universe organizations tries to consider based on numbers of complaints assurance given to Miss Catriona that she will not lose her title but maybe in the coming events half blood contestants will not be allowed in the upcoming events.

“We are looking into this kind of possibilities and we respect all country-members. If there are multiple complains then we have to take action. No final decision has been made so far,” Miss Universe chairwoman Paula Shugart told German media on Friday.

She added that the Miss Universe Philippines organization has been informed already.

There are many Filipino critics complaining the Philippines' pageant winners should have gone to what they called "exotic pure Filipina".

For the past years, most of our representatives for international competition are with mixed race. Most of them have this mixed-blood from different races or with foreign-sounding last name. And this issue with our beauty queens for not being "pure Filipino" had attracted some criticisms. Some of Pinay queens who experienced wide range of criticism for being mixed-race that has been directed at them, much of it on social media, are Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach (daughter of Filipina mother and German father), first Pinay Miss World Megan Young ( half-Filipina and half-American), the British-Filipina beauty reigning Miss Universe Philippines 2017 Rachel Peters, past Miss World Philippines titleholders and many others. They may not be literally pure Filipino but their heart is 100 percent Filipino.

"Every nation is a group of people that happened, yes accidentally, to live together and mingle and have a common fate". Let's accept the fact nowadays that the Philippines has its riotous mixture of bloodlines, even in other countries there are more migrant than native bloodlines. Like cultural anthropologist Dr. Fernando Zialcita said: "Mixing is common. It is normal for humans to mix."

There are now more mixed-race children than ever before.

Here are the 12 Miss Universe queens you probably didn't know were Mixed-Race! Let's start first with the Miss Universe winners and for the next blog, we will be featuring half-breed queens of Miss World, Miss Earth and Miss International.

That is the most ignorant, racistcomplaint I’ve ever heard. That means they are promoting racism and ignorance of understanding The diversity among us all. they should then ban all countries, and not only half breed filipinas as well as all trans genders and they will have to have a DNA test samples of all the contestants before entering pageants preliminary to Miss Universe because diversity is all amongst us all over the world. This complaint Is absurd and have no grounds. They are opening can of worms that is far beyond us! and I don’t think anybody would ever want to deal with it when it comes down to it.

I think this is a big insecurities for them.. Why don't they accept that they don't deserve the title?..If that their concern then let them try too to find mixed bloody from their country to send for miss universe competition to see if she will get the title#FilipinobloodisSMARTThat's why most of foreign men likes to marry Filipina women

This is ludicrous and pure insanity. They want to ban half blooded Filipinas to represent the Philippines, they should ban transgender first from joining Miss Universe since it's one of the most prestigious beauty contest who are supposed to be joined by women only.

The beauty title Ms. Universe speaks for itself. It does not limit the title to the country of the chosen winner--although any country represented can freely choose whomever they desire to represent their country regardless of their ethnic make up and background as long as that contestant embraced the citizenry, culture, and has chosen to live and be a legal citizen of the country they chose to represent. This happens all the time in the Olympics. We are all one global citizen of this
universe. When a new Ms. Universe is crowned we celebrate the beauty of globalism and multiculturalism.

If that's the case, to be fair, all candidates must also know how to speak english and do not use translators. I think that it is also an insult to people who tried and always trying their best to learn, know, and speak english effectively. What's the purpose of English as being titled as the secondary language? Yes! It is not that acceptable but hey, if they want equality then let us find equality too. And please, this is just an opinion or comment, so please don't take this seriously. 😇

If that's the case it'll not apply only for the Filipino people but all the other countries. Miss Universe should not allow half Blood contestants. So it will be fair for the Philippines, but not for the Girls who are born with half blood breed.If miss Spain wun this year?. I bet 90+ countries will file also.

They filed a petition for half filipino but for the transgender they didn’t file a petition just because Philippines won twice in just 4 years then you file a petition I would really like to file a petition for trasgender and interpreters

Are they being racist or just ignorant... people around the globe are mix nowadays even in old days. What are you talking about? Please do some research before you act stupid.. even those ladies who filed for the petition is also mix beauties or half blood, they just can't accept the fact that they didn't win or simple as jealous. Yes you are beautiful.. all ladies are beautiful but there's a lot of factor to become a Miss Universe might you don't have don't you think and not just the beauty and racial where talking about. Be smart be confident trained hard, get the best trainor. What are you going to do with your beauty if you don't have those essence.

My answer for banning the half-blood contestant in the Miss Universe,...well, is that mean that the US will also send native americans? Majority of the delegates from the US are not pure americans or even Canada, Mexico, Japan as well as some of the other countries..and as for the Philippines...Lets have a real talk about the origin of the Philippines. In the books of histories and its evolution it was said that the Philippines was part of one big continent from Africa and Central Asia. Due to a strong earthquake according to history, the Philippines was then separated.Thus, it was said in the book of history that the first inhabitants of the Philippines were black people called Ita or (Negritos), they called it in the Philippines as Aeta or ita. Then it was followed by the Indonesians and Malaysian traders respectively who visited and lived the country for business and trading. These Indonesians and malaysian was said to travel in the country by riding a boat called Valangay (Balangay) in which the name of the barangay was derived,( the smallest unit of community in the Philippines was called). That is the reason why in the elementary school it was taught in school that the first inhabitant of the Philippines was Ita , Indonese and Malay. Not mentioning the existence of Chinese and Vietnamese traders who lived in the country for trading and businesses. During these time, mixed-races children already existed in the Philippines. AS time goes by... SPANISH KING PHILIPPE colonized the Philippines by using their allies from Mexico and Portugal (meaning that not only Spanish went to the country in helping the governance but through the Mexican and Portuguese workers as well).These colonization lasted for more than 300 years... Do you think inter-marriages of many foreigners and Filipinos did not exists during those period of time? And as time goes by, the Americans colonized the Philippines...these colonization of various countries causes so much inter-racial marriages and produces a lot of mixed-race children. Then here comes the Japanese invaded the Philippines for another colonization that added additional mixed-raced offspring. Even the native people or the Indigenous People of the Philippines were already having inter-marriages of the foreigners and was influenced by the foreign traditions and culture. The government of the Philippines decided to make and implemented the new law called Republic act 8371 or otherwise known as the Indigenous Peoples Rights Act of 1997 in order to encourage the Filipinos to preserve and protect the indigenous cultural knowledge and practices of the native Filipinos because it was already slowly vanishing and even some of the tribal people were already vanished due to inter-racial marriages. By the way, the name Philippines was derived from the name of King Philippe of Spain in honor for the Spanish colonizer. THUS, TO SOME IT UP, The name Philippines itself represents a very diverse and multi-racial people coming from different countries. Do you think it is fair to ban them having a lot mixed-race inhabitants. Will you deny them of their rights because of having a mixed
race personalities? Is Miss Universe really accepting diversity and acceptance? Is it a sin of the Philippines having a majority of mixed-race inhabitants? Do you all think that it is righteous to deny them in representing their very own originality of having a mixed
race or half-blood personalities?Like

Its not being half blooded filipina that made catriona win the crown its her preparation for the miss u and her destiny to be the miss u. They should learn from catriona to train and get experts from their own country many months before the event. They came with only their beauty but no confidence and intelligence at all! They're sour grapes!

We filipinos are products of mixed-races.. this claim to ban mixed-raced filipinas to join beauty contest in international arena is just but a high-rate of jealousy....other countries can't accept this..... even for next year's Miss Universe.... i am pretty sure that our representative will also make it.....we filipinos should submit a counter-petition not to allow this.....

They allowed a dude to join the contest and now they wont allow half blood women to join.It doesnt make any sense.To the countries that filed the petition,what can you say about Miss Spain?answer that and Dont be hypocrite.

Lots of filipinos are mixed raced, It’s in our blood and it has also been in our history for good reasons.. We’ve been colonized by different races before, filipinos tend to marry foreigners as well just like anyone else, and lots of people also migrate. It’s a small world. Petitioning this is stupid, because they should have common sense and know that other contestants may also have a different type of blood in them.

— This is biased and mainly based off of jealousy. What “Selfishness” are they talking about? 👀

As I Have Learned,Since Her Motger Was A Filipino She Still Has Filipino Blood.She Chose To Represent Our Country Than Australia.They Knew She Was A Half Blood But They Didnt Confront Her Way Before MU started.Theyre just bitter.She has a filipino blood so she can pick whatever country she can represent.its either Australia or Philippines

As long as the Filipina or any other Miss Universe contender is born in the country they represent and holds
that country's citizenship ( not dual or naturalized) any "mixed blood" contestant should be allowed.

The Philippine Taekwondo Association on Thursday evening condemned the incident, saying such acts are not what the sport stands for.“It has come to our attention that several videos involving a Taekwondo practitioner engaged in alleged violent incidents are circulating online. We, the Philippine Taekwondo Association, condemns any form of misbehavior which includes harassment, bullying, and acts of violence. This is not what Taekwondo instills to its practitioners and is a serious matter that we as an association stand against,” said the PTA in a statement signed by vice president Danilo J.

Thank you.Joaquin MontesAteneo De manila
